First Acoustic set for me
and show number 4. I was amazed. On the way out of the Theatre I was stoned. I saw a friend of mine, Melinda Smith. I could not speak without crying but I did not know why. Less than a year later she killed herself. Today I am Grateful.
Tough show to find
Gr8ful to have been there, too. I was recording with a hand-held Sony and endured too much crowd chatter. I still have the cassette and am very anxious to find a clean board. If Lemieux ever stumbles across one, along with the 18th, too, please let us know! What a great place to see a show.
Found an audience
recording a couple of years ago. Both nights. Sound is not the greatest (being very kind) but it sure takes me back whenever I hear them. One day the miracle will occur and we'll have both nights clean. . .
Good performance the 2nd night
Thought the acoustic set was even better than the night before and the electric was strong. Still not the best Dead show ever but a great time and it was nice to see them back in the Big Easy. Have some old cassettes of it somewhere but it was hard to tape these shows and got them from a friend. Highlight of the two nights was, and you can hear it clearly on the 10/18 show, was somebody yelling out "Let Phil sing!" and Phil looks up and gives him the finger and the crowd roars! Too bad there's not any good quality recordings out there as some of the stuff from these two nights is better than what ended up on Reckoning.
One of the best
Me and my buddies did both nights, and we blew it out after the Saturday night show out at Fat Harry's on St. Charles, along with what seemed like a million other Heads. Got stinking drunk, on top of tripping our asses off, and I ended up passing out in my car. As a result, we were burned out husks for Sunday, but that just made this show that much better. I remember tears streaming down my face at the Brokedown encore. What a weekend!
